Snowceans Eleven

The other day the Bag Lady went to the hay-yard to get a bale to feed to her cows. She had known for some time that the security of the hay-yard had been compromised, and had also known exactly who and how the thieves had been accessing the yard.
Yes, the signs were clear, the evidence irrefutable. The only thing she hadn't known was the number of illegal aliens breaching the defenses.....

It's been a long, cold, snowy winter. A winter that makes it hard to find enough to eat through such a lot of snow, if you're a deer.
Unless, of course, you can find a way to sneak into a haystack.... bringing the entire herd with you!

The Bag Lady rounded them all up....


And herded them toward the gate....

Where they made their way to the open fields...


The Bag Lady is sure all eleven of them will return as soon as her back is turned, crawling under the gate to get to yet another easy meal.

Visiting Venison

The Bag Lady looked out the other day and saw she had some visitors in her yard!


She grabbed the camera and took some pictures through the glass (they were so close to her step that she didn't want to spook them by opening the door!)


They snacked on some birdseed that had fallen by the deck, then continued on their way. Fortunately, the Princess was sound asleep and not on guard duty at the time, or the Bag Lady wouldn't have been able to get even these poor quality pictures. There are actually three deer in the pictures, but one of them apparently wasn't interested in birdseed. If you enlarge the second picture, you can see him near the spruce tree in the right rear of the photo.
